I don't know that much about animation but I think if you add some overlap to the wrists and fingers will make him look a bit more natural.

[Snuffles]

Most definately but this is just a blocking thing, trying to work out the legs, once that is perfect i can finish it off. I see no point in tinkering with the ears if the legs are not right

[Andy]

cant see shit cos u cut like every 1 second to another angle wtf.

[Snuffles]

^Because the walk is only 24 frames long. Hence 1 second. I haven't gone arthouse editing. I was just trying to show a slight bit of progress. I am doing a cycle in place next so i can loop it forever.

[Andy]

meh lighting who cares, rendering who cares. 24 frames is an excuse. use quicktime, dont cut and dont let me not scrub cos i get angry. just present it so we can see actual animation not let it pass in a blink of an eye

[Snuffles]

Don't know how to post direct quicktime, rather than being all hulk and angry maybe you can help me and tell me your method of uploading movs and displaying them.

[Andy]

nah im drunk

Just the legs on an new and infinite cycle:




I am pretty happy with understanding how the knee pop works and how to prevent it, I personally think the legs have improved.

foot roll is jerky, no z rotation on hips, not enough up and down on the hips imo which gives this walk a lack of weight.

knee pop and legs is the last thing to fix get the feet and hips right first

When you want a Quicktime MOV file to loop on a webpage, you have to save it that way. Create the mov, open it with Quicktime player, go to view in the menu and choose loop. Now save.

The reason why we couldn't view your file was because you linked it to us using FTP. (ftp://domain.file.extension). It has to be a working HTTP link. If you are using a FTP program to upload to your website, find the root folder on your website (the same directory with the index.htm/index.html) and dump your .mov file there. Then you can link it to us by simply writing http://domain.co.uk/file.mov

See it that works out for you

^ That was what i was doing, only in a very overtired way. Finally managed to find my file in the domain. So next time it shall be quicktime, it shall be embedded and those hips shall swing! Thank you!

[Boozy]

I agree wih what Andy has said, not enough weight. Also make his hips swivel more on the z axis, keep it up,
